Release notes

- UPnP: Made send icy-meta style song titles to devices that ask for them.
- New additions to saved M3U/M3U8 playtlists: #foo-subsongs - list of subsong/chapter indexes for the next file in playlist.
- Changed ARDFTSC resampler profile mapping to quality scale.
- Changed resampler_manager default resampler choice if no user preference is set - chooses faster resampler (Speex) for <0.5, slower (ARDFTSRC) for >=0.5.
- Improved behavior of shared worker thread pool on dual core systems (also mitigates lock up of foo_playcount on affected machines).
- Installer now detects Wine and offers to configure Wine compatibility options to work around known compatibility issues, especially with old Wine bundled by certain Linux distros.
- Removed Wine workarounds from UPnP Tools component, no longer needed with above fix.
- Default UI: Restored pure GDI HBITMAP rendering of album art by default, addressing various reported annoyances.
- Default UI: Fixed weird behavior of theme importer - custom columns & grouping values from imported theme are added to your configation after approving theme preview, not first time a menu showing them is opened.
- Code signed all utility DLLs bundled (FFmpeg, zlib, sqlite) to prevent foobar2000 being blocked by "Smart App Control".
